There are two restaurants on former cruise liner the SS Rotterdam: the informal Lido and the luxurious Club Room which although thoroughly renovated has its original 1950s-1960s interior almost completely intact. The Club Room menu features a new take on popular dishes from the period and can seat a maximum of 90 people.
The steamship Rotterdam is the largest ocean-going steamer ever built in the Netherlands. After its launch in 1959, it became the flagship of the Holland America Line and sailed to many parts of the world. The ship is now permanently moored in Rotterdam’s Maashaven (Meuse Harbour) near Katendrecht. The vessel’s history is ever-present on board. The 1950s interior and its many artworks were lovingly restored between 2005 and 2008. The hotel rooms, restaurants and other amenities have been thoroughly modernised and satisfy all of today’s needs.
The SS Rotterdam is easy to get to by either car or public transport. The journey by the number 77 bus from Rijnhaven metro station takes 10 minutes. There is a spacious (paid) car park on the quay.
